Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction / InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Replaying History In More Than One Way ❯ Lighten Up ( Chapter 28 )

Tbiris: well, it looks like Pen Against Sword's taking her time again… so here's the next chapter even though I should be working on homework I like you all too much.

 

Karasu: you're just saying that because you're bored.

 

Tbiris: down.

 

Karasu: -cringes expecting to hit dust- -realized rosary's gone- THAT DOESN'T WORK ANY MORE!!!!

 

Keiko: keep your mouth shut if you want it to stay that way.

 

Karasu: -shuts mouth and duct tapes it-

 

Yusuke: you sure do have a way of convincing people. Oh, and she doesn't own `Stand Up' from Slayers. I don't give a damn about translations, but go to animelyrics . com to get them if you want.

 

 

Chapter 28-Lighten Up

 

They were all breathless when they'd reached Genkai's temple, their safe-haven. There, they agreed to meet again at the end of the week, leaving them enough time to talk to family and friends and, for some to catch up on missed schoolwork.

 

Kagome had decided to stay at Genkai's, as did Ruri, Hiei and Jin. Kurama went to visit his family; Yusuke would be staying over at Kuwabara's house where they would, doubtlessly play video games.

 

Souta had made great progress in his knowledge of the three worlds and some basic katas since Kagome had last seen him. He now joined Kagome's practices with Hiei, and was disappointed by his weak performance in contrast to his sister. Kagome had assured him that she had been as bad when she had first started.

 

After she worked on her swordplay she would practice her hand-to-hand or miko powers with Genkai. It also taught her to expect an attack at any moment, unlike the practices with Hiei; there was always an audience with her training with Genkai. Usually Jin, Hiei and Ruri would watch. Sometimes Kagome's family watched as well. The only person Kagome hadn't seen outside of the temple was Yukina.

 

She didn't plan to stay at the temple for long, but she did want to see Yukina and talk to her before she left, and intended to delay as long as was needed until she had the time and she was able to corner Yukina.

 

Until she managed that, Kagome planned something to lighten up everyone's mood. They had been focusing so hard about the Shikon no Kakera for so long and hadn't taken a break from anything; it was time for them to relax. She had managed to get Genkai to agree as well. Now she just had to set everything up.

 

Kagome sang a song as she went towards the mall.

 

“POCKET kara afuresoudane

TAKING ON A CHANCE”

 

`Sango really knew how to identify her feelings,' Kagome thought, more cheerful now. She entered the clothing shop first, sifting through the clothing, trying to find more clothes for their next trip, since she had lost at least three outfits last time.

 

She perused through the Zellers (not sure if there are any in Japan), looking for her ingredients and finding them easily enough.

 

She grinned as she brought back everything and started her plans. She called Yusuke and Kurama, asking them to come over and visit tomorrow. They both agreed and Yusuke added that he'd tell Kuwabara as well; Kurama told her that he'd come after school hours.

 

That same night Kagome begged Jin to ask a wind to circulate around the temple at about the time that school normally ended “to keep the heat away.” He agreed and unknowingly set part of Kagome's plan rolling.

 

She informed Genkai of her exact plans and what she needed help with. She agreed to the plan “just to see my favorite dimwit laugh again” and supplied a wig that looked similar to Yukina's hair. Ruri was also notified and she agreed to the task Kagome gave her.

 

The cock crowed and Kagome grinned as she woke up. It was time for preparation. She knew that Hiei would be deeply asleep but would wake up soon, so he was her first target.

 

She grabbed an item out of the bag and a camcorder. She tapped Ruri on the shoulder and handed her the camcorder. Without any more delays, they set up the second trap before setting off the first one.

 

Kagome sat on the branch above Hiei and set the trap up and climbed down before throwing a rock onto the ground loudly. Hiei began to wake up, only to see a bird right in his face. Startled, he lost his balance and fell onto a canister of gasoline. (Just try it, I know Hiei wouldn't normally do that, but close your eyes, have a sibling (without you knowing) put something RIGHT in your face. You'll jump up.)

 

The second trap now. Kagome donned the disguise and signaled Ruri to stop tapping Hiei and change to Kuwabara as he came into the shrine area.

 

“Kazuma, what a surprise!” Kagome did her best to imitate Yukina's voice. Kuwabara grinned widely and listened raptly to what Kagome told him. She led him into a dark corridor before slipping into a hidden room. Confused, Kuwabara kept walking and looked left and right for Yukina. That is, until he hit a wall, and couldn't get off it. He was super glued to the wall. There was the sound of more footsteps and Kagome quickly set up trick number three and informed Genkai and Ruri.

 

Yusuke was humming `Change the World' as he skipped up to the temple, unaware of the danger he was entering. He heard a noise behind him, but paid no attention, until Genkai hit him over the head before running into the temple. Cursing, he followed, until he tripped over a fishing line. He skidded across the floor on his front, and when he flipped over he got a gallon of water splashed onto him. He lay stunned for a while, blinking water out of his eyes before cursing.

 

Kurama was the last one, and the easiest. As he walked up to the temple, Kagome threw a dozen eggs into the wind and onto his head, before running into the living room.

 

Everyone was already gathered there. Yusuke was still soaked, Hiei was shirtless and scowling, Kuwabara had bits of glue still stuck to him and Kurama still had egg pieces in his hair. Without blinking, Kagome played the tape. By the end everyone had laughed at least once. Yukina had come as well and handed Hiei a spare set of clothes, since his were soaked in gasoline; the catch was that they were an extra set of Yukina's clothes. Nonetheless, Hiei wore them, claiming that he couldn't stand the smell. (Friend gave me that idea with Hiei's clothes).

 

Kagome tilted her head, observing Hiei.

 

“I can see the similarities between you two now, I don't know why I didn't see how you two are siblings.” There was dead silence as Yukina's eyes widened and Hiei gave a murderous look to Kagome. Yusuke and Kuwabara were rendered speechless. Kagome looked around confused before giving a weak laugh.

 

“I guess it was supposed to be a secret then…” Hiei began to advance on Kagome, before Kurama stepped in between them.

 

“You will owe me for this,” he murmured to his unofficial girlfriend. Kagome gave another weak laugh.

 

“I suppose you already had something in mind then,” she squeaked, peaking around Kurama and still seeing a pissed-off Hiei.

 

“A date with you comes to mind.”

 

Well, yet another one done. I know some things would have been close to unbelievable… but still. Guesses as to that `mystery person' will be taken until his appearance in ch. 30. I'm not going to mention who got it and who didn't, then you could just look at the review boards ^^.

 

Sesshomaruobsessed: well, your name makes it known…

 

Dark Inu Fan: Sesshoumaru's dead…remember?

 

Jinenji: as usual, I can count on you for a long review ^^. Didn't win anything this time though. Hmm, including epilogue this story will end in six chapters.

 

Sunstar kitsune: How could they if they were running for their lives?

 

Time and fate: It's on Deviant Art.

 

Pitbull123: Good question. I have no clue. I wasn't really thinking about that… but I did but something time-related in the next chapter.

 

Ohiowriter: 0_0 I'M UPDATING I'M UPDATING!!! Once my French teacher stops giving so much homework… -grumbles-
